Storytelling Toolkit for People With Disabilities and Advocates
The Arc has a mission to promote and protect the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively support their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes.
Your life and experiences are powerful and valuable. Sharing your story can change people’s hearts and minds.
This toolkit will help you create and share your stories to raise awareness about an issue, encourage elected officials to change laws or policies, ask people to support changes you want to make in your life, and share about what your life is like.
